This micro-credential represents the knowledge of how to teach the use of computing in a secondary classroom to support student learning of the fundamentals of digital citizenship and appropriate use of digital media in the early grades. As students progress, they learn about the legal and ethical issues that shape computing practices. Legal and ethical considerations of using computing devices influence behaviors that can affect the safety and security of individuals. Please locate "01. PROFICIENCY SCALE – Impacts of Computing – Safety, Laws, and Ethics" in the resources to view specific Wyoming Computer Science Content and Performance Standards and the CSTA Standards for Teachers included in this micro-credential.

Earners demonstrate their understanding in using computing to support new ways of connecting people, communicating information, and expressing ideas. Additionally, earners show how to support students in learning that computing can connect people, support interpersonal communication, and how the social nature of computing affects institutions and careers in various sectors. Earners will also need to demonstrate how they meaningfully incorporate diverse perspectives and experiences of individuals from marginalized groups in curricular materials and instruction. Additionally, the earner will develop a personal teaching philosophy reflecting that all students can and should learn computer science.

Earners demonstrate their understanding of identifying computing system problems and the strategies used to resolve the issue systemically. Earners will demonstrate how to support students in learning how to use systematic problem-solving processes and develop their troubleshooting strategies based on a deeper understanding of how computing systems work. Earners will also need to demonstrate how to create and scaffold meaningful opportunities for students to discuss, read, and write about CS concepts and how they integrate CS practices.

This micro-credential represents the knowledge of how to teach the use of computing in a secondary classroom to support students in learning that identifying the problem is the first step to fixing it. As students progress, they learn systematic problem-solving processes and how to develop their own troubleshooting strategies based on a deeper understanding of how computing systems work. When computing systems do not work as intended, troubleshooting strategies help people solve the problem. Please locate "01.
